The Institute of
Environmental Management and Social Development started its work only
about three years back. The experts responsible for establishment
of the institute soon realized that no reform movement or planning
could succeed without the social acceptance of people at large. They
felt that it was necessary, as a first step to development, to bring
about social change through appropriate education, training and carry
out field research in various areas of the huge spectrum of social
development. It has also been found that three major factors through
which proper social development can be achieved are: -
1. Media
of education and training.
2. Improvement in the Communication Skills.
3. Producing proper material requirement for rapid social
development to enhance the efficiency of management in various fields
of human activities.
As a first
step to start the activities of the institute, a tentative work
schedule for the year 2000 to 2001 was drawn up, subject to modification
according to circumstances.
It was also
soon realized that to achieve the goals of the institute, it would
be necessary to establish partnership with the various organizations
